Indications for Use
The VB12 method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of vitamin B12 in human serum and plasma on the Dimension Vista® System. Measurements of vitamin B12 are used in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias of gastrointestinal malabsorption. The LOCI 4 CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the LOCI Ferritin (FERR), LOCI Folate (FOL) and LOCI Vitamin B12 (VB12) methods on the Dimension Vista® System.
Device Story
Dimension Vista® LOCI Vitamin B12 assay is a homogeneous, competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay for use on the Dimension Vista® System. Input: human serum or plasma samples. Process: samples pretreated with NaOH, DTE, and KCN to release B12 from carrier proteins and convert to cyanocobalamin; biotinylated intrinsic factor and B12-coated chemibeads added; B12 in sample competes with B12-chemibead for intrinsic factor; streptavidin-coated sensibeads added to form bead pair immunocomplexes. Operation: illumination at 680 nm generates singlet oxygen from sensibeads, triggering chemiluminescence in chemibeads. Output: chemiluminescent signal measured at 612 nm, inversely proportional to B12 concentration. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing and managing anemias related to gastrointestinal malabsorption.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2 (N=80 per sample, CVs 1.2-7.6%). Linearity supported across 60-2000 pg/mL range (y=0.99x + 0.22). LoB/LoD/LoQ determined per CLSI EP17-A (LoQ 52 pg/mL). Interference testing (CLSI EP7-A2) established HIL limits and mitigated IFBA interference. Method comparison (N=162) against predicate showed R=0.993, slope 0.985. Matrix comparison (N=71) confirmed equivalence across serum, EDTA, and heparin plasma.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay (LOCI® technology). Reagents: synthetic chemibeads (B12 derivative, chemiluminescent dye) and sensibeads (streptavidin, photosensitive dye). Energy source: 680 nm illumination. Measuring range: 60-2000 pg/mL. System: Dimension Vista® analyzer. Calibration: multi-analyte liquid frozen product (LOCI 4 CAL).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of vitamin B12 in human serum and plasma to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of anemias associated with gastrointestinal malabsorption.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
